Came here on a Friday afternoon and parked in the beech and museum carpark which is about a 10min walk down to the beech from the carpark. The carpark can get very busy so would come early or you may need to wait for someone to leave which is what we did but didn’t take too long. They do have disabled parking bays but not too many. Also blue badge holders still have to pay to park here. The walk down to the beech is not suitable for wheelchair users or for the elderly or people with mobility issues. The views at the beech are amazing as you can see in my pictures and the water is like as if you are in the Caribbean. It was so clear and clean. The beech has lifeguards on duty. If you plan to stay there for most of the day be prepared and take your sun shields and beech furniture down with you I also wouldn’t walk down to the beech from the carpark barefoot and would wear your slippers or trainers down.
Whether its rain or shine, this area is beautiful with Golden sands and turquoise sea. Stepped in communication history, there is also a museum. When tide is out, be careful as can be cut off.. Lifeguard during the season. Cafe on the roadside Parking is available, gets very busy. Pay on exit at machine or Ringo when u arrive.
We visited Porthcurno Beach with my wife and our two children, and we had an amazing time! It is an incredibly beautiful place, with soft white sand and crystal-clear turquoise water that feels like paradise. The beach is clean and very family-friendly, making it safe and fun for the kids. It was a wonderful, relaxing day out, and we will definitely come back. Highly recommended for a perfect family trip in Cornwall!"
Incredible beach with crystal clear water! If you plan to go to the Minack Theatre don’t bother going up and down the cliff stairs, the views from the theatre will be better.
Porthcurno Beach was one of the beaches I wanted to visit the most, and it completely exceeded my expectations. We rented an Airbnb only 8 minutes away, I felt so lucky. The beach is absolutely stunning and the views are 100% worth it. Just be careful when walking down, especially if you go down near the theatre, as it can be a bit steep. I went down with my dog and it was honestly amazing. This place feels like Italy or Greece, it’s unreal and truly dreamy. The next day I came back with my husband and our dogs to watch the sunrise, and it was one of the most beautiful moments. I will never forget it. 🌅🐾✨
